Why in the world would Activis produce fake pills to protect pharmacies from robberies? Activis sells the pills to distributors, who turn around and sell them to pharmacies. It's not like Activis, or any other drug company, has ANYTHING to loose by a pharmacy getting robbed. You honestly think they care if they end up on the street? Legally or illegally? Either way they already made the money. It's not like it's their responsibility to reimburse pharmacies in bad neighborhoods for robberies involving one of the hundreds of drugs they manufacture. Do you think it's in some contract or something???
It would be begging for a lawsuit to be providing every pharmacy with hundreds of fakes. All it takes is one time for the pharmacy to accidentally give a patient fakes, and have that patient die from complicated withdrawal symptoms, like dehydration or a combination of a bad heart/heart palpitations due to the withdrawal. It would also potentially cause problems with unscrupulous pharmacy employees swapping out fakes...
Obviously these fakes are a result of people pressing fake pills...The color/texture/imprint/taste wouldn't be off if there was ANY truth to the fake pills for pharmacy robberies theory.
Also, what makes you think these "fake" pills would be any cheaper for a pharmacy to buy than ones with active ingredients? Either way the drug company has to manufacture and press the pills... Considering bottles of 100 cost the pharmacy less than 50 dollars for generic 30mg oxy ir's, do you really think this is viable?
